  1. Costs the state approx €80 per day (€30k a year) per asylum seeker, which means these 24 people were costing us €720,000 a year.

    Even with the cost of these flights being €473,000 the state has still made a serious saving of €247,000 in the cost difference

  2. Money well spent.
    Good to see the Tax money going somewhere useful

  3. It should not cost anywhere near that amount. I’d like to see a cost breakdown and know who signed off for each cost.

  4. If there was any reason to buy a state jet it would be this. It would have to save money in the long run.

  5. Just off topic. Schengen countries just introduced EES, an electronic entry-exit system, a biometric registry using face and fingerprints data to reduce overstaying or using fake documents, so basically to tackle illegal immigration, while Ireland still relies on traditional passport stamps. Why?

  6. You’ve deleted all your comments… Can’t even see this one fully. Not sure you’ve realised this, but when you try and hide evidence it generally means you can’t support your stance.

  7. Worth it, will save us money because now other chancers won’t come.
